Coronado

Across the bay from downtown San Diego, Coronado is a pleasant escape from the jumble of the city and the buzz of the beaches. Follow the tree-lined, manicured median strip of Orange Avenue toward the commercial center, Coronado Village, around ...

Had a great tour of San Diego on the Old Town trolley. Convenient pick up location at Seaport village. Got to see all the sights of San Diego - even crossing the Coronado bridge for an almost-bird like view. Our driver Philip (1 L - still Phil!)was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We had a nice long stop in the Old Town which was full of restaurants and shops with lots to do. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone

This is a great way to see a lot in a short time (2 hours on the trolley). More importantly, your guide gives you much interesting information that you just would not know otherwise. We have taken this tour in other cities like Washington D. C. There is a free parking lot at the hub in Old Town San Diego, which had space in the morning (9:30). We took the tour in the morning, got off at Seaport Village and the Coronado Hotel to look around. At the end of our tour, we were at Old Town, so we looked around a few hours and had lunch which included the famous fish tacos.

The tour was great. We got a good overview of the city and really enjoyed the boat tour and the time we were allowed to look around at the Del Coronado hotel. The chance to see the seals was also a big highlight of the tour.

This is the best way to get an overview of everything there is to see and do and where it's located in San Diego. The whole tour probably takes 2 hours but you can get off and on when you want. Be careful when and where you get off as you may have to wait a while to get a trolley that isn't already full to continue. When too many people are using the trolley the drivers alert the company and they add more trolleys. Noon on a Sunday in sunny Coronado is a tough time to get back on a trolley but it's a great place to be stuck for three quarters of an hour. Every driver is different, all have their own stories to tell and all are very good.

What a handy, money-saving card! For less than $100 it felt like we had the freedom of San Diego. The card gained us free entry to tonnes of different attractions including the Zoo, Whaley House and USS Midway. We also took the ferry to Coronado and walked to the beautiful beach there. The card is easy to use, just hand it to the ticket cashier and they will swipe and return it to you - no hassles, no queuing and no money required!

We enjoyed our tour of San Diego and particularly liked Coronado. The driver/guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. The only negative was they could have used more trolleys at the various stops, as most stops had too many people waiting. Quite often they weren't able to get on the trolley and consequently, had to wait for the next one.
